Engineering from a different slant

“Leaning into a relationship is the best measure for determining intention and devotion. If the other person’s loyalty does not match your own (or if yours does not match theirs), you will feel distress within an area of your body: a lump in the throat, a knot in your gut, something will seem off. If there is an alignment of devotion, ease and reciprocation and a graceful push and pull will follow.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

“Those that demand the most from you usually give very little. They inadvertently play games of control and when you don’t play along, will blame you for their emptiness. But those who love authentically take you as you are and will ask nothing they are not ready and willing to give.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

“An extraordinary life requires extraordinary risk. Not in time or effort or will, but in allowing your perceptions to be vulnerable, including a few split second decisions made from your gut that will change the course of your life entirely. That’s what death does. That’s what change is. The courageous meet death before it happens. They change before life forces them to.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

“You will never know a friend, a spouse, a family member well. There is always another layer, a line of internal processing you will never know about. The closest you will ever get to knowing another person well is to feel, in unison and with significant depth, a particular emotion – a language which transmits volumes.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
